As part of the Budget Framework Implementation with the Governor, UC would pilot “activity-based costing” at UC Riverside and engage two other campuses in a scoping study to potentially expand the piloting of activity-based costing to either or both of these two other campuses. UC Davis and UC Merced were the two additional campuses that participated in this project. Included in this page are materials related to this project.

UC continues to be recognized on various dimensions of academic excellence. Most recently, the U.S. News and World Report named five UC campuses among the 10 best public institutions in the nation while the Academic Ranking of World Universities had four UC campuses among the top 25 universities in the world.

UC's impact on the state extends well beyond its campuses and laboratories. It touches every community throughout California. UC contributes extensively to the state’s growth and development through its public service mission.

45 years ago California’s spending on the UC and CSU systems was almost four times that of correctional systems expenditures. Today, correctional spending is almost 47% greater than that of the UC and CSU systems combined.
